DAN, what's to argue with? He's preaching Holy Ghost conviction and not a standard man made standard of modesty.  |
Hate to burst your bubble, but the Holy Spirit does not selectively convict standards as it chooses. Jesus said when the comforter comes, he will testify of me. God is not a respecter of persons. Oh the Lord told me is hogwash. The word of God is our guide and the Holy Spirit testifies to the word.
I have seen people go into the prayer room, come out crying, speaking in tongues come out and say God told them to do something totally contrary to God's word. People can pray themselves into peace with the devil and never know it. The word of God is our guide.
I'm not saying God does not speak, He just speaks in agreement with His word.
Now, you're saying our conscience should be our guide. Nope, our conscience can fail us, and should not be trusted either. Too much confusion associated with upbringing, education, pier pressure, etc. The suicide bomber feels chills too every time they strap on a bomb. They pray too and their conscience tells them to pull the string.
God's word is the lamp to our feet and the light to our path. Any voice that speaks otherwise is not the Holy Spirit. You can personally feel guilty about certain activities, but don't say the Lord told you.
Anything that is not of faith is sin. Any faith that is not in Christ is sin. Trusting in our own conscience will deceive us.
